On May 15th I reported a UNID that was IDed by Mike McCants.
So replace
99999 14 635A 4172 G 20140515212928084 17 25 2132230+611437 37 S
with
26957 01 049A 4172 G 20140515212928084 17 25 2132230+611437 37 S
On May 16th I had a UNID in the corner of an image. In the viewing image
only part of the satellite number was visible, just 39 at the front.
Cees had a look at it and came with a simple solution: in the .ID file, made
by Sattools when reducing the image, there is the info needed.
It turns out to be Yaogan 18, 39363 - 13 059A.
39363 13 059A 4172 G 20140516202725699 17 25 2023712+563704 37 S
This morning, at the end of the all-night session, a UNID was captured.
It was regulary flashing with 3 flashes on each of 2 images.
The track was measured around the flashes and gave the following results:
39574 14 009C 4172 G 20140519022034593 17 25 0233690+611729 37 R

39574 14 009C 4172 G 20140519022043865 17 25 0158998+575674 37 R
Using Heavensat en the Full-Catalog download from Sattrack it turned out to
be the GPM satellite, 39574 - 14 009 C.
I've already seen the H-2A r/b that launched it, 14 009J.
Free to Kevin: You never know what you see when looking up.
